Since 2011, San Antonio Spurs fans rallied around the best kept secret in the NBA – a shy, lengthy two-way athlete with an ever-growing skill set and winning demeanor. The Spurs fanbase believed in superstar Kawhi Leonard with all of their hearts, donning his jerseys and showing up to games with the sole purpose of watching him play winning basketball.
Leonard approaches the sport like no other. His quiet personality shined through more frequently than others outside of the fanbase had imagined, but he mostly kept to himself and his teammates in San Antonio.
